Introduction

San Martín Square is the core plaza of Córdoba's historic center, the city's heart since its founding, centered on an equestrian statue of the national hero General San Martín. On one side stand the solemn Córdoba Cathedral and the colonial Cabildo (city hall); green trees, fountains and flower beds dot the square, with arcades and cafés around. It is both the public living room for citizens to rest, gather and stroll, and the natural starting point for the old town—from the square, the cathedral, the Jesuit Block and colonial landmarks are all within steps, the central stage to feel Córdoba's history and everyday life.
